He looks like such a nice happy person with a good soul. It seems to be that way in life, that good souls suffer.

Seeking the good of the whole makes one confront the depraved world we live in head on.

I feel like this is a big reason why even some people who support Palestine seem to react negatively or may even want to bury this story. It's hard to seek good because to be good is often to be unpopular or misunderstood.

It's so important that we don't let his sacrifice go unnoticed or unappreciated.

Boomers and elites are the only groups of people who still majority support israel.

Unquestioned support for Israel days are numbered. Looks like they know this hence why israelies are prosecuting ethnic cleansing with Waffen SS effiecency

This is still predicated on the idea that the boomers and elites aren't happy to burn the US to the ground in order to sustain their death grip on the political status quo. They and the Israeli lobbyists are already attempting to implement some pretty wild stuff that shows they have no regard for anything but advancing their plans, come what may. Just recently, some conservative Democrat Assembly Members in New York advanced a proposed law targeting recent pro-Palestinian protests that would make blocking a road, bridge, tunnel or transportation facility as part of a protest an act that would get you hit with domestic terrorism charges, a class D felony and up to a 7 year prison sentence.

Unfortunately, the boomers and elites who still think fondly of Israel and have a knee-jerk rejection of any criticism of it have an entirely disproportionate influence on our politics, and are not averse to doing untold damage to our current freedoms, institutions and fellow citizens to advance their rabidly Zionist agenda full throttle.

No doubt but I was only talking about public opinion... Which frankly doesn't seem to matter much since they do as they please while fake news will cover for them.

It will complicate their operations at least some hopefully.

In america, asking for maternity leave will get your labeled as a domestic terrorists though. So no surprises there.

There is a club...

Good people who believe in a free Palestine are not the ones who should be setting themselves on fire.

He is the first U.S. military member in the last 80 years whose death was not in service of the ruling class/bankers/MIC.

RIP

Surely others have died trying to desert?
